Q

describe the role of different nephron sections in water reabsorption/excretion

A
  1. blood is filtered in the glomerulus
  2. water is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule in a constitutive fashion
    - 60-70% of water
    - linked to Na+
  3. loop of henle not directly involved in reabsorption, but is fundamental in ADH dependent water balance
  4. distal tubule/collecting duct water reabsorption is regulated by ADH

17
Q

when does the posterior pituitary release ADH?

A

increased ECF osmolarity

stimulation of thirst center and osmoreceptors

18
Q

what is the effect of ADH on urine and plasma H2O?

A

decreases urine volume and increases urine osmolarity to save water in the plasma
once there is enough plasma H2O, there is negative feedback which inhibits ADH

19
Q

a decrease in these metrics causes an increase in ADH

A

volume and pressure

20
Q

an increase in this metric causes and increase in ADH

A

plasma osmolarity

21
Q

what is the relative osmolarity and flow rate of urine during diuresis?

A

high flow

low osmolarity

22
Q

what is the relative osmolarity and flow rate of urine during antidiuresis?

A

low flow

high osmolarity

23
Q

what are the 2 factors required for water reabsorption in the kidney?

A
  1. permeability across the renal tubule membrane

2. a gradient for water movement across the tubule

24
Q

how does ADH affect the distal tubule?

A

tubule impermeable

ADH increases permeability by creating channels for water to exit

25
Q

what is the difference between the dlh and the alh?

A

dlh is permeable, alh is not

this allows for the creation of a more dilute fluid in the alh

26
Q

describe the countercurrent mechanism

A

in the dlh, water exits and salt enters
in the alh, salt exits and water is maintained due to impermeability, creating a dilute solution
in the distal tubule and collecting tubule, there is now a gradient between the dilute filtrate and salty environment of the medullary interstitium so that water may flow out of the tubule if ADH is present and makes it permeable

27
Q

what is the response of the kidneys and the resulting effect on urine of an event resulting in loss of water > solutes?

A

water reabsorption in kidney
decrease urine volume
increase urine conc. (hypertonic)

28
Q

what is the response of the kidneys and the resulting effect on urine of an event resulting in excess water over solutes?

A

water excretion
increase urine volume
decrease urine conc. (hypotonic)

29
Q

what is the response of the kidneys and the resulting effect on urine of an event resulting in excess of isotonic fluid?

A

water and solute excretion

increase urine volume

30
Q

what are two mechanisms that lead to polyuria?

A
  1. low solute reabsorption

2. abnormal ADH levels

31
Q

what is the effect of low solute reabsorption?

A 
solute diuresis
due to:
-salt wasting
-diuretics
-high glucose in renal tubule
32
Q

describe the mechanism for polyuria: solute diuresis

A

excess solutes in the filtrate (due to presence of osmolytes (DM), inhibition of salt reabsorption by drugs, or decreased ADH)
decreased water reabsorption in the proximal tubule
partial but insufficient compensation by distal tubule reabsorption
urine osmolarity isotonic or close to plasma
increased urine volume

33
Q

what are the 4 components of diabetic nephropathy?

A
  1. thickening of the glomerular basal membrane due to accumulation of glycated proteins
  2. efferent glomerular arteriole atherosclerosis
  3. messangial and glomerular expansion
  4. disruption of podocytes
34
Q

describe the mechanism of solute diuresis in DM

A

high plasma glucose
increased glucose filtration
glucose remains in tubule
increases diuresis (polyuria)

35
Q

describe the mechanism for polyuria: water diuresis

A 
excess water ingested
decreased ECF osmolarity
decreased ADH
decreased nephron water permeability and reabsorption
solute reabsorption continues
increased urine dilution
36
Q

what are the two components of diagnosing polyuria?

A

history and testing

37
Q

what is the process for testing polyuria?

A

restrict water/raise plasma osmolarity
monitor urine osmolarity/volume and ADH levels in plasma
look at plasma and urine glucose levels

38
Q

what should happen to urine volume/osmolarity after the addition of ADH?

A

should level off

39
Q

what should happen to urine osmolarity as plasma osmolarity increases?

A

increase in a steep linear fashion

40
Q

what should happen to urine volume as plasma osmolarity increases?

A

decrease in a steep linear fashion

41
Q

how do presentations of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and central diabetes insipidus differ on a polyuria test?

A

nephrogenic doesn’t react to ADH addition while central does
